water overflow tank ? size?

<< < (2/3) > >>

dreracecar:
Seriously, how hot is it going to get in 60 sec from start-burnout-stage-run???? If you are staging at 250* you need to go back and figure things out. If the tank does overflow, it will usually be after the turn-out  on the return road and will be helpful by keeping the dust down for the guy behind you. 1qt is plenty, unless you forget to drain it and then its your own stupid falt.

Cajuninjector:
Pull the water plugs on each side of the block and go race.

ricci32:
Thanks guys  as always.

GlennLever:
Just remember he is running gas.

Dolmetsch:
I have had trouble in the past when I first started running the rail and last year a pal had trouble on his BBFord altered beside me. Running gas I would put the biggest practical on as you never know how long you will get stuck at the line. A lot of starters and track ofic's don't realize you are carrying minimums in both cooling and fuel and cannot sit on the line staged while they holler at their friends. I now make my own from capped abs pipe with a drain in the bottom and a vented cap on the top. That has so far 8 years eliminated the problem for me.
Too little will get you in trouble. Too much will never bite you.
